Samajwadi Yuvraj Tej Pratap Singh Yadav has won from here in the Lok Sabha by-election held in the year 2014.

This parliamentary constituency is also important in the sense that former UP Chief Minister Mulayam Singh Yadav has won elections from here in 1996 and 2009. Although he had won elections from here in 2004 and 2014 also, but later resigned and left this seat. The special thing is that in the 2004 by-election, his great grandson Dharmendra Yadav and in 2014 his second great grandson Tej Pratap Singh Yadav won the election from here on the ticket of their own party.

Although the Bharatiya Janata Party rules the Center and UP, the Grand Alliance is stronger than expected here, because the past has also been in its favor.
